Welcome to the forum!

With your complexion, have you considered colorful tattoos?

thank you 🙂 and yes i have considered them but not really my cup of tea. I prefer my B&G personally

Welcome to the forum!

I like it. It’s not a style that I would choose personally, but it is well done.

Congratulations. (What’s your next one?)

OK so the pics do show up? Yeah it’s very well done I have no problems with my tat guy, he’s done 13 of my 14 tattoos. But I’m just a little self conscious that’s it’s a little…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum.
As long as you keep it clean and dust free there is no reason you can’t go out even sooner. I just got a large tattoo on my lower arm on the first day of a three day convention. (10:00 AM til 2:00 AM with all the partying) I just washed it occasionally, applied a NON PETROLEUM ointment, and was careful…

That would be one difficult tattoo.

I agree with Dan about the water drop.

I had thought the water might translate badly tbh.

Since I clearly don’t know much about realism tattoo work, would you be able to tell me why that picture for example would be difficult to do (or is it just the water drop or are there other…[Read more]

Welcome.
You posted on the wrong page. There is a forum here for tattoo artists and professionals.

Thanks Sam much appreciated 🙂

Welcome.

Yes, the petals are not perfect. Keep in mind that it is a tattoo of a flower, and flowers and plants in nature are seldom perfect. (That’s why people buy plastic flowers)

I like it.

Thank you 🙂

No respectful tattooer would copy another artist’s work. Most want to draw up their own work.

That watermark is like a copyright.

Cheers, sorry I should have said that’s the overall quality I want it to end up like, I don’t want exactly what’s in the picture, I’m just having trouble finding someone local.

Welcome!

A photo would be helpful.

Hi there Sam.

I don’t know how to upload a photo here. Can you give me some guidance?

@Sam-I-Am 146770 wrote:

Welcome to the forum!

You must read “So you want to be a tattoo artist” in the general category.

Good luck! (Post some of your paintings and drawings)

Thanks man! And i already read “So you want to be a tattoo artist” before anything 😀 also I guess I can show some stuff I’ve made, but what thread do i share it on?

You have quite a head!

I will consider that a compliment and say thankyou. Haha

I, too, wear a lot of black, but I recently got some bright retro style tie-dyed tank top shirts that go very well with my colorful tattoos. (yes, mine are all colored)
My skin takes and holds colors very well. My main tattooer is from Texas, and I’m quite a novelty for him. (seems the norm in Texas is Mexicans and sunburned…

I like your plan, except I’m for full vibrant colors.

Thanks SamIAm, are all your tattoos color? I’ve thought about both and love the look of black n grey, I wear a lot of black and not a lot of coloring clothing as well, glad the color on my wrist doesn’t clash with clothing colors I wear, that would bother me..

Tattoos take a minimum of three months to fully heal.

Most quality tattooers / artists will have back-up machines. If he’s banging it on the table, I see a tattooer with a lack of general knowledge, or patience, dealing with tattoo machines. As an apprentice, a person usually learns all the intricate details of a machine…

What is the point?

Just to see what other people think of your tattoo compared to all the other ones.

Me too. Borderline copyright infringement.

Theres a difference between inspiration and plagiarism.
Nothing wrong with using a reference if its not copied.

As a regular Kickstarter and Karolinafund user, I’m always up for supporting interesting projects. I’m not personally interested enough in these two projects to want to support them, but if anyone else is interested then all the better.

I think we all have different standards, just as we all have different tastes.

I’m just glad that people here told me my first tattoos were shit. Otherwise I would still be getting them.

Precisely my point, how will any one learn to up their standards if they aren’t aware their standards are low in the first place lol

Oddly enough I have been thinking of that. Do you have a source for Palmer’s?
